Delivering Delight to Home-Bound Hearts – Isaacs Center

Cost-of-living increases have remained one of the biggest challenges for senior citizens. Increasing food budgets are among the myriad of challenges they face. To help combat this issue, The Stanley M. Issacs Neighborhood Center, on the Upper East Side, has become the main contractor for Meals on Wheels, an organization that centers around delivering nutritious prepared meals to homebound seniors, from 59th to 142nd Street. Each week, the Issacs Center works to deliver seven meals to the seniors and collaborates with other community agencies including the Carter Burden Center, Union Settlement Association, and Roosevelt Island Senior Center.

Today, the Wholly Medical Supplies team was able to volunteer at the Issacs Center and assist with delivering prepared meals to the homebound seniors. As we went from door-to-door, delivering 22 meals to different apartment complexes, we were greeted with smiles and thanks as the seniors appreciated knowing that they were cared for. Often times, as a society, we move so quickly that we forget to appreciate those who came before us and provide them with the environment and care that they deserve. Making sure that the seniors in our population are taken care of and cared for is imperative to set an example of how we treat each other as we age, especially with projections of a higher senior population in the future!

We here at Wholly Medical Supplies believe in the mission of the Issacs Center, as they deliver delight to homebound hearts, and have decided to make a financial contribution to them to help provide nutritious meals to those in need! If you are interested in volunteering or donating to the Issacs Center to follow in our footsteps and support their cause, please do not hesitate to check out their website!
